He has every opportunity to do a great job. If he is true to himself, he will be a leader than many will remember years from now fondly. Possibly the leader that put an end to the DPA, and this NvS BS. The vote was Nothing about NvS and frankly its old. (There are those on both sides that like to go to that, but many see all of us as Delta pilots, no premerger anything) Mike may put all of that to bed. He has a year until the next regular election, and a lot of work to do. If his resume and results are any proof, I suspect he is up to the task and will excel at it.
